Frye

Page 206: At each stage of this receding

revolution one of the seven principles of the
original rebellion becomes corrupted, so that no
animal shall kill any other animal has added to it
the words without cause when there is a great
slaughter of the so-called sympathizers of an
exiled pig named Snowball, and no animal shall
sleep in a bed takes on with sheets when the
pigs move into the human farmhouse and
monopolize its luxuries. Eventually there is only
one principle left, modified to all animals are
equal, but some are more equal than others, as
Animal Farm, its name changed back to Manor
Farm, is welcomed into the community of human
farms again after its neighbors have realized that
it makes its lower animals work harder on less
food than any other farm, so that the model
workers republic becomes a model of exploited
labor.

I think that this critics statement supports my ideas

because it shows that environment in animal farm is
changing into a totalitarianism government. This is
seen with the seven principles of the original
rebellion are becoming corrupted. The critic found
this present in the story with pigs, seeming to be
responsible for this arrangement. All animals are
equal is also changed when But some are more
equal than others is added. Pigs like Napoleon
moving into the farmhouse can also be seen as a
totalitarianism government house. These examples
found by critic exemplify on how the animal
community and following patterns that resemble
totalitarianism.

No Page: The final decay of Animal Farm results
from the pigs engaging in all the human evils
about which old Major had forewarned them. The
pigs become psychologically and even physically
indistinguishable from the humans. The pigs wear
clothing, sleep in beds, drink alcohol, walk on two
legs, wage wars, engage in trade, and destroy their
own kind. Ultimately, despite old Majors vision,
nothing has changed. The pigs and their dogs have
become bureaucrats and tyrants: neither pigs nor
dogs produced any food by their own labour.
Connolly Page 200: The allegory between the animals and
the fate of their revolution (they drive out the
human beings and plan a Utopia entrusted to the
leadership of the pigsNapoleon-Stalin,
Snowball-Trotskywith the dogs as police, the
sheep as yes-men, the two carthorses, Boxer and
Clover, as the noble hard-working proletariat),
and the Russian experiment is beautifully worked
out, perhaps the most felicitous moment being
when the animal saboteurs are executed for
some of the very crimes of the Russian trials, such
as the sheep who confessed to having urinated in
the drinking pool or the goose which kept back
six ears of corn and ate them in the night. The
fairy tale ends with the complete victory of
Napoleon and the pigs, who rule Animal Farm
with a worse tyranny and a far greater efficiency
than its late human owner, the dissolute Mr Jones.

No Page: Under Napoleons rule, Animal Farm
declines steadily. As the pigs break the
commandments, they rewrite them to conform to
the new order. The sheep bleat foolish slogans on
Napoleons behalf. Napoleons emissary,
Squealer, a persuasive political speaker, convinces
the increasingly oppressed animals that nothing
has changed, that the commandments are as they
always were, that history remains as it always
was, that they are not doing more work and
reaping fewer benefits.

I think that this critics statement supports my ideas

because it shows that pigs do nothing. This would
include Napoleon since hes the leader and show
downfall of what they have become. Critic also
finds unfair treatment between animals if some
work and other dont. The absolute power of pigsThe State- shows totalitarianism being displayed.
Pigs are also viewed as tyrants and bureaucrats
which is basically stating this is close to a
totalitarianism government. That is because a
totalitarianism government follows this pattern and
usually has a Dictator or in this case a tyrant.
I think that this critics statement supports my ideas
because it shows that Napoleon and pigs are
completely in charge. Also shows the structure
brought with a totalitarianism government with
dogs as police, for example. The Critic also
analyzes Boxer and Clover as two hard- working
proletariats. Also it is found that Napoleon is seen
as a worse tranny than even Mr. Jones. Showing
that critic believes that this is totalitarianism.

I think that this critics statement supports my ideas

because it shows that there is a group in charge. It
also displays Napoleon and Squealer working
together, but Napoleon in total charge. This
statement also shows pigs having, power to even
change original Commandants written. It gives
accurate descriptions on what Squealer does and
that he uses lies to control the animals.
